#8 Give respect to all and you will get respect

#9 Follow the school dress code & wear your ID

#10 Report any computer problems ASAP

#11 Do not change any settings on computers

#12 Leave the room, work area, and your desk the way you found it or better, so that we all have a nice environment to learn each period.

Learn these terms for better understanding of Information Technology and computers.

|Term |Definition |

|antistatic bag |A polyethylene bag, usually pink or shiny transparent black, used to store computer components such as |

| |expansion cards to keep them safe from ESD. |

|Bit |The smallest unit of data that a computer can use, having a value of either 0 or 1. The word is an |

| |abbreviation for binary digit. |

|Bus |The electronic pathways between hardware components used to transfer data back and forth. |

|Byte |A group of eight bits. |

|cache memory |A type of memory used to temporarily store frequently used data or programs for quick access; similar |

| |to RAM but faster. |

|central processing unit (CPU) |The “brain” of the computer that interprets and executes instructions; also called the microprocessor |

| |or processor. |

|circuit board |A flat piece of insulating material inside a computer on which electrical components are mounted. |

|compact disc (CD) drive |An optical storage device that reads data on compact discs; variations include CD-ROM drives |

| |(read-only), CD-R drives (record once, read many times), and CD-RW drives (rewritable). CDs have a |

| |smaller storage capacity than digital video discs (DVDs). |

|computer system |A four-part system consisting of hardware, software, data, and people that performs four basic actions:|

| |input, output, processing, and storage. |

|Data |The raw information, including text, numbers, sounds, and images, that a computer reads and stores in |

| |the form of numbers. |

|digital video disc (DVD) drive |An optical storage device that reads data on digital video discs; variations include DVD-ROM drives |

| |(read-only), DVD-R drives (record once, read many times), and DVD-RW drives (rewritable). DVDs have |

| |greater storage capacity than CDs. |

|dual-core processor |A single chip with more than one processing core; it acts like two processors but requires only one |

| |socket on the motherboard. |

|electrostatic discharge (ESD) |The rapid flow of electric current between two objects of different electrical potential. Because it |

| |can carry a large charge, ESD can cause serious damage to electronic equipment. |

|expansion board/card |A small circuit board used to add extra functions or resources to a computer. |

|expansion slot |A socket on a computer’s motherboard used to hold an expansion board and connect it to the bus (data |

| |pathway). |

|floppy drive |A magnetic storage device that reads data from and writes data to a floppy disk, which is a metal disk |

| |(usually 3½ in.) inside a rigid plastic case. These are found mostly on older machines—few new ones |

| |have floppy drives. |

|gigahertz (GHz) |A billion cycles per second; a measurement used to express a computer system’s clock speed or clock |

| |rate. |

|hard drive |The primary, magnetic storage device in a computer. It is made of a group of thin, metal platters that |

| |spin on a central spindle. |

|hardware |The mechanical or physical devices of a computer system. |

|input |The data entered into a computer; also, the action of entering data. |

|kilobyte (KB) |1,024 bytes. |

|megabyte (MB) |1,048,576 bytes, or 1,024 kilobytes of 1,024 bytes each. Hard drive manufacturers sometimes use this |

| |term to mean one million bytes. |

|megahertz (MHz) |A million cycles per second; a measurement used to express a computer system’s clock speed or clock |

| |rate. |

|memory |A “work area” used by the CPU to read and write data and programs quickly while they are being used; |

| |primary types are ROM and RAM. |

|microprocessor |The “brain” of the computer that interprets and executes instructions; also called the central |

| |processing unit (CPU). |

|motherboard |The main circuit board in a computer that unifies all of a computer’s electrical pathways and devices; |

| |also called the system board. |

|output |The data produced by a computer after processing; also, the action of producing data. |

|processing |The action(s) a computer takes while following instructions from a software program. |

|random-access memory (RAM) |A type of memory that contains data that can be read or written to but is lost when the computer is |

| |turned off. |

|read |To transfer data from a storage or input device into memory, or from memory into the central processing|

| |unit. |

|read-only memory (ROM) |A type of memory that contains data that is retrievable but cannot be changed. |

|software |A set of electronic instructions, also called programs, that tells a computer what to do. |

|storage |The media and devices used to record and hold data and programs permanently. |

|storage devices |The hardware components that read and write data to and from storage media. |

|storage media |The physical materials on which data is stored, such as hard disks, compact discs and digital video |

| |discs, floppy disks, and magnetic tape. (Note that magnetic tape is typically used for backup |

| |applications.) |

|system board |Another name for the motherboard. |

|system clock |An electronic source that generates a steady stream of electronic pulses. |

|tape drive |A magnetic storage device used to read data from and write data to a magnetic tape housed within a |

| |plastic cartridge case. Magnetic tape is typically used for backup applications. |

|terabyte (TB) |One trillion bytes, or 1,000 gigabytes. When referring to computer memory size, this is 1,0244 bytes. |

|write |To send data to a storage or an output device. |

|system clock |An electronic source that generates a steady stream of electronic pulses. |

|tape drive |A magnetic storage device used to read data from and write data to a magnetic tape housed within a |

| |plastic cartridge case. Magnetic tape is typically used for backup applications. |

|terabyte (TB) |One trillion bytes, or 1,000 gigabytes. When referring to computer memory size, this is 1,0244 bytes. |
